บททั้งหมดของ Marrying Your Brother: How Do You Like That?: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"The patient's blood pressure is dropping! Get the defibrillator!""Where is her family? They haven't signed the surgery consent form!"Under the glaring lights of the operating theater, Yvonne Sullivan's vision blurred.She could hear the sharp beeping of the various medical equipment and the panicked whispers of the nurses. Blood gushed from the C-section incision on her stomach, drenching the white sheet beneath her.Three days ago, in the pouring rain, she had begged Charles Lambert not to abandon her and the unborn child she was carrying, but all she got in return was a cold reply from his butler, "Mr. Lambert is out with Ms. Chase for her bridal gown fitting."And now, right after she was forced to sign the divorce papers, she had gotten into a car accident.As the anesthesia wore off, Yvonne reached out for her phone with a trembling hand and dialed the number that was engraved in her mind one last time."Charles…" she whispered, mustering all her strength. "The doctor sa

"So you want to go back to your home?" William asked."No…" Yvonne lowered her head and put on a sad expression. "I would be all alone at home. I'm scared."Hearing that, William pursed his lips.For someone who had lost both parents and had no family left, loneliness was indeed terrifying. He felt the same."Then come to my place," he said.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief at his answer."But Mr. Lambert, the banquet—" Matthew protested."Take us to Roselake Manor first.""Alright."Matthew had no choice but to drive over to William's residence."Sorry, Will. Will I be too much trouble?" Yvonne asked, acting innocent.William did not indulge her. He replied coolly, "Yes, you are. You should learn to get used to being alone."Yvonne was momentarily speechless.Her plan to ask to stay in Roselake Manor for the near future fell through just like that. But at least she now knew where he lived.When they arrived at Roselake Manor, William had someone prepare a room for her.

Matthew was quick to respond. "Yes, Mr. Lambert."Matthew signaled for Yvonne to get on his back, but Yvonne backed away quickly, waving her hand. "No, no, Will, I'm fine. Shawn can take me to the infirmary…"She lowered her head. "Besides, I still have class in the afternoon. If I leave, I won't be able to take notes for Charles.""He can take his own notes. Why are you taking notes for him?" William asked.Yvonne bit her lip without answering.Even Matthew couldn't help but pity her.Yvonne was an heiress in her own right. Why was she putting herself through all this? What had the Lambert family done to her all these years?"Ms. Sullivan, let me take you to the hospital," he said. "I can't trouble you like that," Yvonne said in feigned panic. "I can go myself later."Seeing this, William took off his jacket and tossed it at Matthew. "Go get the car. I'll drive her to the hospital."Matthew was taken aback. "Mr. Lambert…"William crouched slightly, his back still straight

William choked on his risotto, sputtering and coughing violently. His expression darkened right away.Yvonne quickly reached for some tissues. "Will, are you okay?"But just as she moved closer, William pulled away and blocked her hand that was almost touching him.He managed to compose himself, but his expression was still icy. "Do you even understand what you're saying?""I-I do. I know it's a bit much..."It was the first time Yvonne had ever been this shameless. She was asking a man she'd only met twice to marry her. The situation was awkward, to say the least.She quickly tried to explain, "It's just a temporary measure. My father's will said Andrew would be my guardian until I came of age, and then I'd marry into the Lambert family. Once I turn 18, the lawyer will transfer the inheritance to me. "But now that Andrew has passed away, I'm not interested in getting into an arranged marriage. After I inherit my estate, we can call off the engagement. How about that?"William remaine

In the past, Yvonne used to message Charles several times a day. Whether it was morning greetings or goodnight messages, she never missed any one of them.But ever since she got hurt the previous day, she hadn't messaged him at all. She didn't shoot a single reply to the messages he sent her.And now, she had even hung up on his call.Charles opened their chat again and sent her a message, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Call me back as soon as you see this!"He waited a full minute, but there was still no response.In the past, she would have called him back within three seconds of getting a message like that.Charles frowned deeply. What was Yvonne playing at now?…It was close to noon at the L Group branch office.While Yvonne was waiting in the lounge, her phone kept lighting up with message after message from Charles."Yvonne, are you still asleep?""Are you too sleepy to even answer my call? What are you upset about?""I didn't mean for yesterday to happen. J
